  • You Are Not Too Much

    You Are Not Too Much

    If I could whisper just one truth into every child’s ear, every single child on the planet, it would be: You are not too much. That thing you do—that big laugh, the weird questions, the way you can’t sit still, or the way you talk a mile a minute or don’t talk at all? Not…

  • A Summer of Us

    A Summer of Us

    So here’s the wild thing — this summer isn’t just about surviving. It’s not just logistics, snack management, and sunblock. It’s an invitation. Three weeks with each of them. One-on-one. Three little chapters. Three strange, glorious, chaotic, possibly sticky journeys into who they are now. Who they’re becoming. Who I get to be, not just…

  • With Snacks and Sanctuary

    With Snacks and Sanctuary

    How to Take Care of Rain What do I need to take care of myself this summer? First of all: water. Like actual hydration but also lakes, ocean breezes, cold showers when everything feels sticky and overstimulating and like they might explode from the sheer volume of life. They need water in all its forms.…

  • Two Weeks To Go

    Two Weeks To Go

    Psst. Hey, Rain. Not there yet. Not quite. The quiet still holds. Stromps is calm. The dishes aren’t multiplying. The fridge looks… optimistic. This is the last two weeks before it all begins. Before the door opens and the first pair of shoes gets kicked off somewhere you’ll trip over later. Before the rhythm changes.…

  • Consider This Your Gentle Reminder

    Consider This Your Gentle Reminder

    Am I Scared or Just Forgetting to Play? One of the peculiar little puzzles I’m working on these days — and yes, that phrasing is intentional; it is a puzzle — is trying to approach things with curiosity instead of fear. Sounds easy, right? Like just a flick of a switch: boop, now I’m curious!…

  • We Need to Talk

    We Need to Talk

    So apparently that post I made the other day — the one about being nervous, about having my kids here this summer for the first time, about shifting from my worker-brain to my parent-brain and wondering if I was going to screw it all up — hit home for some people. Especially younger folks. People…

  • Nine Weeks, One Nervous Parent, and a Very Opinionated Cat

    Nine Weeks, One Nervous Parent, and a Very Opinionated Cat

    Okay, so it’s happening. It’s happening. Nine weeks.Three kids.Three weeks each. One apartment in California that has never, not once, had to hold my parental brain, my work brain, and my nervous system all in the same space like this. I’m excited. I’m terrified. I’m spiraling a little, but in a cute, high-functioning kind of…

  • Caffeine and Consent

    Caffeine and Consent

    Fast food is a treat! Sugar is a treat! Caffeine is a goddamn blessing sometimes. And I mean that in the most reverent, fully-caffeinated way possible. The thing is, when I was a kid, none of these things were “allowed.” Not really. Not with joy. Not with balance. Not with that soft internal yes that…

  • Radiant Emotional Chaos

    Radiant Emotional Chaos

    Somewhere along the line, we were told — taught, shown, reinforced — that it’s not okay to be proud of ourselves. Not really. Not in a bold, radiant, or unapologetic way. It’s “confidence” if it’s humble and palatable. But anything more than that, and suddenly, it’s vanity, ego, and arrogance. Especially if you’re not a…

  • Takin’ Care of Business

    Takin’ Care of Business

    Two projects have been haunting me for what feels like an eternity. I’m not exaggerating — one’s been sitting there for over three years (dutch companies, you monster), and the other one, california love, has been quietly judging me from the corner of my to-do list for more than a year. They’re the kind of…
